Answer:

Edmund Burke was one of the greatest critics of the Revolution, while Paine defended it. Dickens tried to express his attitude towards Revolution through one of his greatest novels The tale of two cities.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Burke saw the Revolution as an act of usurpation against lawful monarchy.
  • On the other side Paine believed that Revolution will bring peace and prosperity to France and established some lasting principles.
  • Dickens researched a lot about Revolution and wanted to show how common people were affected by it.
